Lambdas, Nested Functions, and Blocks (2021)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-13 20:31:24

I have the fortunate privilege to be part of the ISO C Standard mailing list, and recently a thread kicked off about Lambdas and what their need is in the C Community. That thread was in response to an ongoing push by Jens Gustedt’s proposal N2736, where Gustedt is building steam to put a proper function + data type into the C Standard at some point. What kicked off in that thread was a lot of talking about nested functions, blocks, statement expressions, whether we even need the ability to have

Trump Rips Up Environmental Rules Protecting Wildlife From Destructive Rocket Launches

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-16 20:48:14

Their friendship may be over, but president Donald Trump just handed Elon Musk and his company SpaceX a major boon by brushing aside major environmental regulations. On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order to accelerate space launches by effectively deregulating the industry. As part of this push, the Federal Aviation Administration is directed to "eliminate or expedite" environmental reviews — an obstacle that has been a persistent thorn in Musk's side. Covering all its bases, the order
